HAK β†’ FOC

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a stunning panoramic view of China's rapidly developing southeastern coastline, including the massive urban clusters of the Pearl River Delta and the scenic island city of Xiamen.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
πŸŒ‰

Qiongzhou Strait

The narrow body of water separating Hainan Island from the Leizhou Peninsula of mainland China.

πŸ™οΈ

Pearl River Delta

A breathtaking aerial view of the interconnected megacities of Shenzhen and Dongguan, showcasing intense urban density.

🏝️

Xiamen Island

The distinct urban geography of Xiamen, featuring the famous Gulangyu Island and the Yanwu Bridge hugging the coastline.

⛰️

Fujian Coastal Ranges

The rolling green hills and mountains characteristic of Fujian Province that drop sharply into the sea.

πŸ—οΈ

Quanzhou Port

One of the world's most historic maritime silk road ports, now a bustling modern container hub.

Choose a window seat on the left (A) for flights departing in the morning to avoid direct sun glare while viewing the mainland. This side provides the best view of the urban sprawl of the Greater Bay Area and the unique island layout of Xiamen during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

South China Sea

A vast expanse of deep blue water with visible shipping lanes and cargo vessels heading toward Hong Kong.

πŸ–οΈ

Wanshan Archipelago

A cluster of over a hundred islands scattered near the mouth of the Pearl River, looking like emeralds in the sea.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Kinmen Islands

Clearly visible offshore islands located just a few kilometers from the Xiamen coast.

🚒

Taiwan Strait

The busy maritime corridor between mainland China and Taiwan, often filled with fishing fleets and international tankers.

🎐

Pingtan Island

The largest island in Fujian, known for its windmills and unique rocky coastline, seen just before landing at FOC.

The right side (F or K) is better for afternoon flights to enjoy the sea views without the sun shining directly into the window. It is the best side for spotting the distant horizon of the Taiwan Strait and the various small islands that dot the Fujianese coast.
